Riik

Lightweight object mapper for Riak.

Motivation

Riik doesn't support everything you would exepct from a full ORM. There
are no validations, no callbacks, and no error handling, as the primary
motivation was providing an extremely thin abstraction over RObject
allowing you to map an objects serialized fields into keys. The
benefits come from being able to work with a lightweight abstraction
without dependencies on larger, external gems, such as activesupport and
activemodel.

If you're building an entire site with Riak as the primary data store,
you should be looking at Ripple.

If you're looking at building a gem or Ruby application that needs to
write serialized objects directly to Riak without any overhead, look no
further.
